A somewhat healthy snack

I was at my hairdresser yesterday and while I was there, his longtime barber friend came in for a quick haircut.  The barber then proceeded to cut my hairdresser's hair!  I must admit I never wondered where he got his own hair cut!  It was a gorgeous, sunny day, a bit cooler as fall sets in.

L wanted to try these baked lentil chips we saw at Costco when she was here. They weren't so great on their own, but paired with a good hummus dip, they are fantastic! It's a somewhat healthy snack, the chips are made with bean flour, with 110 calories per 22 chips and only 5% fat in the serving. At 210 mg of sodium it's salty but it's a chip. Maybe if one has 11 chips it's not so bad. The dip itself is 80 calories per 30g (2TBS) with 8% fat in the serving. So this means you just dip the chips as lightly as you can, it's still a dip after all! Would you try these?

I used to make hummus at least once a month. It tasted good. Then I got tired of it and stopped making it. I enjoy salty chips, but was told by my internist not to eat them anymore, as I have hypertension.

Not for me I'm afraid. I don't care for hummus.

If you can pair them up and somewhat healthy, then there will be no guilt :-)

Sounds good...especially if they are healthy!

Yes I would definitely try them. Although I cant have too much salt. Truth is if they were any good I would eat the packet not just a few chips so for me its better to avoid them altogether. I love hummus though and make it regularly.

I do not like hummus at all unless I'm totally starving. The chips sound awful, so no thanks. I 'll just sit here and watch you indulge.

Hmmm... This does sound good. I'll try to remember this. My daughter loves hummus.

Great suggestion. I've been trying to work on my weight. Tough go, truly.
Now, grandkids have given me a cold. Aren't you supposed to feed a cold??!!
